Manly Mitts Pattern!

Sorry this took so long to write up, guess I haven't been in a blogging mood.

Manly Mitts!
I made these for my husband for Christmas at his request. The yarn I used is a random worsted weight cashmere, but I would actually advise against using a %100 cashmere, silk, or alpaca yarn for this project as it stretches out too much.

Hi Commenter! Hope you check back here.. the numbers are the row numbers of the chart: So with a knitting chart pattern you read right-to-left and from bottom-to-top.Send me an email if that doesn't help!

I love your diamond pattern instructions, and am using in a pair of gloves I'm making for my hubby. I would have used your whole pattern, but apparently he wants the fingers on there. :) Take a look at my post to see how it's going!

haven't started knitting yet, but in review of pattern, I also am wondering if your CO number can be correct? If, when starting the diamond pattern which has a repeat of 6, can you do that over 36 stitches?

i love this pattern.. i made already 2 pair.. one for my bf and one for my g-pa. what i love is that they have such a good fit.. i find that many patterns i am scared to try because they turn out so big. but these are perfect. thank you very much. cindy

I'm making these handsome mitts for my son for Christmas. Could you please clarify for me: after the PM, K1, PM the pattern says to start following the chart. Should I start with stitch 1, row 1 of the chart or stitch 6 of row 1? Also, I can't quite tell on the photo, are the thumb gusset stitches all knit or does the diamond pattern continue on the gusset stitches (that would throw off the pattern count, yes?)
